Interview of Hollie Steel on the 2009 BGT Tour

Interview: Hollie Steel

“I feel like I’m a bit famous now,” she said. “People keep looking and waving at me in the street. I say ‘hi’ but I’m a bit embarrassed.” Her mum Nina says Hollie is taking it in her stride but she is making sure to keep her feet firmly on the ground.

“She’s still a kid afterall.” Nina said. “But it’s been lovely to receive so many letters of support for her. We’ve had letters just addressed to Hollie Steel, BGT, and they’ve reached us.”

After travelling down to London on a luxury coach, Hollie and her mum, Nina, joined by the other contestants have spent the last week rehearsing at The Apollo, in Hammersmith
…
Hollie has made friends with fellow singer Shaheen, 12, dancer Aiden, 11 and 12-year-old Sally from 2 Grand who, Nina revealed, Hollie will sing a Sound of Music medley with on the tour. Hollie says meeting her new friends has been the best part of Britain’s Got Talent. She said: “I want to see them when the tour is over but they live really far away.
…
“in the second act she’s doing a completely new song called I Have Confidence from The Sound Of Music, which she’s been learning for just three days. It’s a lot to ask when she’s only 10. But everyone is in the same position. Julian said to me he’d never even heard of one of his songs.”
…
Over the course of the next month she will perform a total of 24 shows to crowds the size of which Hollie has never seen. And the tour also brings a different type of first for Hollie as the youngster makes her first trip on an aeroplane when the tour goes to Ireland. The Belfast show, on July 1, will be an extra special one for Hollie because she celebrates her 11th birthday that day.

Hollie Steel’s Britain’s Got Talent 2009 Final Singing Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again

Mary — Sat, 30 May 2009 22:38:12 +0000

Hollie Steel sung Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again, from Phantom of the Opera, in the Britain’s Got Talent finals. It was an excellent performance.

Hollie really seemed to enjoy the performance, as did the other kids performing today. Great job Hollie. And good luck as you continue to grow and pursue your dreams. Remember to stay true to what you want. Don’t feel the need to do what others expect you to do. If you want to sing. Sing. If you want to take a break from singing to dance. Dance. If you want to stop both and play soccer or study chemistry then do that. Enjoy yourself.

I was actually so worried for her when listening live that I couldn’t tell how well she did. I just listened again and it was really great. I am looking forward to hearing much more from her.

The dance group, Diversity, received the people’s vote and won Britain’s Got Talent 2009 with an amazing performance. Susan Boyle took second with her amazing singing. My other favorite performances of the night were Flawless, Aidan Davis and Stavros Flatley but really every performance was very good.
